North Saskatchewan River Basin Long-term Water Quality Monitoring Data

Long-term freshwater quality monitoring data for sites in the North Saskatchewan River Basin for the past 15 years or longer for nutrients, metals, major ions, and other physical-chemical variables are included in this dataset. Monitoring is conducted by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to assess water quality status and long-term trends, detect emerging issues, establish water quality guidelines and track the effectiveness of remedial measures and regulatory decisions. The information informs the Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative and supports activities of the Prairie Provinces Water Board (PPWB).

本数据集收录了北萨斯喀彻温河（North Saskatchewan River）流域各监测站点过去15年及以上的长期淡水水质监测数据，监测指标涵盖营养盐、金属类物质、主要离子及其他理化变量。
本监测工作由加拿大环境与气候变化部（Environment and Climate Change Canada, ECCC）牵头开展，旨在评估水质现状与长期变化趋势、识别新兴环境问题、制定水质基准，并追踪补救措施与监管决策的实施成效。
相关数据成果可为温尼伯湖流域倡议（Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative）提供决策支撑，同时助力草原诸省水务委员会（Prairie Provinces Water Board, PPWB）的各项工作。
